HMD Global, the company behind the current Nokia-branded phones, seems to be reviving the Lumia name in spirit with its upcoming Skyline series.
Earlier this month, leaks revealed that HMD is working on a new phone called the Skyline. The renders we’ve seen so far suggest that the Skyline will have a design reminiscent of the classic Nokia Lumia line. Now, it appears there might be more to the Skyline story than we initially thought.
Reliable leaker @smashx_60, known for HMD-related leaks, has revealed that HMD is working on a second Skyline device, called the HMD Skyline G2.
It’s unclear whether this is a direct successor to the first Skyline or a separate device altogether. Regardless, since the first Skyline hasn’t been officially announced yet, the launch of the G2 seems to be quite far off.
Similar to the first Skyline, the G2 is rumored to sport a triple-camera system on the back. While the exact camera setup remains uncertain, the tipster has shared four possible configurations, one of which even includes a 200MP main camera.
All the setups also include telephoto, ultrawide, and Time of Flight (ToF) sensors and that is because HMD will reportedly be targeting the G2 towards mobile photography enthusiasts.
The most notable difference between the two Skylines appears to be the bezels. The initial leak showed a phone with a prominent chin and relatively thin bezels on the sides and top. In contrast, the G2 is said to have thick bezels on both the top and bottom, giving it a more dated look.
Unlike the original Skyline leak, which included specifications and pricing information, details about the G2 are scarcer. We’ll need to wait for further leaks or official announcements to learn more about the hardware, software, and release date of the HMD Skyline G2.
